Holy shit. We signed Michael Lewis too.

Finally we have a hard hitting secondary again. Maybe Boldin and Fitzgerald won't rape us as bad this season.

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
 

maybe the media will jump all over the 49ers now and say they signed too many egos and shit.

i really think the 49ers spendind is outlandish, but mayb some of that is just jealousy

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
 

I could care less if we overspent. We had like 37 million dollars and we have to play Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, and Deion Branch twice every year. Let's get the best CB available.

I'll give you Archie. But we paid less in terms of salary and signing bonuses for BOTH Carter and Lloyd than you did for Clements. Carter looked really impressive down the stretch and Lloyd is a big question mark.

And, I'm not talking about you Rexi, but I'm tried of hearing how the Redskins overaid this guy or that guy from some idiot on the TV who doesn't know squat. The Redskins developed a reputation for overpaying players after 2000, justifiably so. However, since 2000 our FA "spending sprees" have not been nearly as bad as people make them out to be. In fact, the only big signings I can I regret in the past few years are for (1) Jeremiah Trotter and (2) Adam Archuleta. Yet these morons in the press keep saying how we overpaid for this player of that player. Some examples:

(1) We were told that we overpaid for Laveraneus Coles ($13M SB) when NO ONE criticized the Falcons for giving basically the same deal to Peerless Price. Coles went to the Pro Bowl and eventually was traded for Santana Moss. Where is Peerless now?

(2) We were told that we overpaid for Randy Thomas ($7M SB). The deal doesn't look so bad when you consider what guards, just a few years later, are getting paid and that Thomas is one of the best guards in the league.

(3) We were told we overpaid for Cornelius Griffin ($8M SB), who was allegedly an underachieving washout from NY. Griffin has turned out to be one of the best players on our defense.

(4) We were told that we overpaid for Marcus Washington ($8M SB), who also turned out to be a Pro Bowler and one of the best OLBs in the league.

I could go on and on with such examples.

Think again. Walt Harris couldn't cover Boldin or Fitzgerald if his life depended on it. Clements and his agent are in line after them in the 49er rape line. He isn't worth anywhere near 80 million.

It is funny what happens when it is perceived that the Redskins want a player. Other teams break the bank.

Nice one Nolan!

I think Clements is really only going to make 7.5 per year or something. Not bad for an elite corner, especially with the WR's is our division.

Did I touch a nerve, Lexi? Well if no one can cover them, why did you just pay a corner 81 million?

Btw, he is getting 22 million in guaranteed money. Let's see in second grade, I learned that 4 x 22 equals 88. Any more questions, you mental midget?

I guess his base salaries are going to be negative. You should take your comedy act on the road but don't travel on any highways with double digits, you may get lost.

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
 

The 9ers way overpaid for Nate Clements. Nate's skills were beginnning to diminish during his last two years in Buffalo. He was not the shut down, ball hawk of a corner that he was the three years prior. Nate's a good corner, but he's no Champ Bailey. 8 years, $80 mil for an overrated player is a bit excessive.

Well shut down corners don't really exist. Even Bailey isn't a shut down corner, though he finally lived up to his reputation somewhat this season. What I like about him is how aggressive he is.

I like Nate Clements, but he's not the best defensive player in the league even though he's getting paid like he is.

I agree, that would go to Shawn Merriman. But nearly everyone is over-paid as a FA. It's the nature of the market.

I bet Frank Gore would be better at corner. Since he is better than Emmit and Tomlinson, he has nothing to prove as a runningback.

Just explain to me how Clements is only going to earn roughly 1/4th of his 81 million dollar contract when he will recieve 22 million without stepping on the field.

I have my laughtrack ready.

Champ could cover them. But since he didn't sign with the 9ers, I guess he isn't in the same league as Clements.

If no one can cover them, I would say the money would be better spent on someone like Thomas or a defensive lineman. If you can't cover the receiver you should pressure the QB.

Rexi. He gets paid a salary also. The SB is up front money. As in: "here's a check for 22 mil, sign the contract and it is yours." Most of the rest of the contract is salary which he earns when actually playing. By the end of the first season he will have made more than 1/4 of the money.
